1. nephrocalcinosis

   Nephrocalcinosis is a medical condition characterized by the accumulation or deposition of calcium salts within the tissues of the kidneys. This can happen due to a variety of conditions such as hyperparathyroidism, renal tubular acidosis, or long-term use of certain medications. It's often detected through an ultrasound or CT scan and can cause renal insufficiency or failure. It may not always cause symptoms, but commonly results in frequent urination, blood in the urine, and recurrent urinary tract infections. Nephrocalcinosis can affect one or both kidneys.

1. Nephrocalcinosis

   'Nephrocalcinosis, once known as Albright's calcinosis after Fuller Albright, or "Anderson-Carr" Kidneys, is a term originally used to describe deposition of calcium salts in the renal parenchyma due to hyperparathyroidism. It is now more commonly used to describe diffuse, fine, renal parenchymal calcification on radiology. During its early stages, nephrocalcinosis is visible on x-ray, and appears as a fine granular mottling over the renal outlines. These outlines eventually come together to form a dense mass. It is most commonly seen as an incidental finding with medullary sponge kidney on an abdominal x-ray. However, it may be severe enough to cause renal tubular acidosis or even end stage renal failure, due to disruption of the renal tissue by the deposited calcium.
